I was blogging the other day and stumbled upon Willow Designs. For anyone interested they are having a DT Call for Willow Sketchie Challenge Blog showcasing Willow Designs. The deadline is July 7th. There is something special about Sharon's images. I instantly wanted the Double Sprinkles Of Kraft. Unfortunately we are having a postal strike in Canada and it's taking longer than usual to receive it. Patience is hard but I have a few other images to play with until it arrives.

For my card I used the image "A Spot Of Gardening". I think my love of owls has returned!!! I used Promarkers for coloring. I still think Promarkers are the best medium out there. I instantly knew the new papers from Pink Paislee - Hometown Summer would be perfect with this image. It's been a while since I used Chandelier Garlands from Magnolia. The flowers are from I Am Roses. My mushrooms were cut using the software Make The Cut for my Cricut Expression. Is it bad if I say I haven't bought a cartridge since I started making my own designs??? Shhhhhhh. The gems are from Stampin' Up and colored with Promarkers. TLF!

I had the pleasure of being a GDT for Pollycraft in February. They are now having a DT Call to add a couple of gals. They are also giving 2 freebies to enter for the call. They are must haves so be sure to get them. The call is open until June 27. I am also entering this for their Monday Challenges which is ribbons and flowers.

I used "Sonny's Party" image. She is colored with Promarkers. The papers are from Echo Park - Little Girl collection. I made a shaped card. It's only my 2nd one and I am loving this style. I created the cut-outs and used Make The Cut to cut using my Cricut Expression. I think I will start giving some of my designs as freebies so be sure to check back regularly. The flowers and leaves are from I Am Roses. The gems are colored with Promarkers and are from Stampin' Up. For the balloon I printed an extra image and popped the balloon for dimension. TFL and good luck to those who try out!!!

Look who is having a DT Call! Teddy Bo images are super sweet. If you love bears then look no more. There is a wonderful collection of bears both masculine and feminine. I almost missed this call and I am entering with little time to spare. Fiou! LOL. The challenge is to use a shaped card instead of a square or rectangle. It was a little tricky because my usual style is square shaped.

I used the adorable "Top of The Toadstool" image. She is colored with promarkers. The papers are from Jillibean Soup - Blossom Soup. Jillibean is one of my favorite 6x6 pads lately. The ticket is made with Whimsy Shapeology Ticket Die. The flowers are from I Am Roses. My card was cut using the software Make The Cut for the Cricut Expression. I designed the outline shape as well as the oval circle and oval scalloped circle. It really comes in handy having a graphic designer background! :D TFL! And good luck to all the entries!!!

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I crafted for a challenge other than giving the challenge. I just love Pollycraft stamps and I just totally love the new release Claudia and Spencer. I would just love to win this set. This week's challenge is Be My Teddy Bear. The challenge is to use a bear stamp. You are allowed to use any Bear stamp but if you use one of Pollycraft's stamp you can be chosen as a favorite.

For my card I used the "Cuthbert Party" image from Pollycraft. Of course he is colored with Promarkers. The inking is with distress inks. The papers are from Fancy Pants - Beach Bum 6x6 pad. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up. TFL!

About Me

I am a graphic artist/designer. I started scrapbooking in Sept.2008. I immediately was hooked. I love the feel of products in my hands which was a nice change since my line of work is 99% done on the computer. In April 2009 I was introduced to stamping and card making. It opened to a whole new world of creativity. I stopped buying cards and started making my own. This opened new doors and that's how Tina Impressions began.
Thank you for taking the time to reading a little about me and I hope you enjoy my blog.
